Trying to confirm William was father of William Pearson 1837. born St Luke's
Shoreditch/Islington? . In early life a bricklayer
!841 shows William living in Middlesex age 35 also bricklayer -born outside of Middlesex.
Any help would be appreciated.

........................and Barry states that in 1841 his William was 35yrs old (born 1806) and a Bricklayer?

I'd like a bit more info, from Barry, on the 1841 census he mentions.

Thanks all.
I confirm that William 1837 married Maria Castleman in 1859.
Sorry Catherine , member told me his father William (1806?) was a carpenter not bricklayer.
(he also told me Maria's father was a church clerk). Think from marriage cert.
1841 could be correct but contradicts 1851 as William senior shown as 65 in 1841 but 58 in 1851 but both still too old if the William I am researching was born in 1806.
